Jacobs, 23, combined to hit .244 (111-455) with 33 doubles, 13 home runs, 66 RBI and 59 runs scored over 127 games this season between Class A Salem and Class AA Portland in the Red Sox organization and Class AA Birmingham in the Sox system. He hit .237 (37-156) with two home runs and 22 RBI in 43 games with the Barons.

Jacobs was acquired from the Boston Red Sox on July 12 in exchange for left-handed pitcher Matt Thornton and cash considerations.
